am 12. mai veröffentlicht paradise of bachelors das neue the weather station album. es heißt "loyalty", wozu die künstlerin schreibt: "the record was called loyalty from the beginning—it was the first decision i made about it. it’s a word you usually see written in copperplate script, a virtue: LOYALTY. but the songs don’t treat it that way, just as a thing to unpack. it’s a force that you have to reckon with: loyalty to the dream, to the “work,” to the mythical idea of “you” that somebody thought they saw. it can be a weakness as much as a strength; it can keep you from the reality of your own life, your own self."
